Stephen Lloyd Opens WRAS’s Charity Shop

Thank you Stephen Lloyd for opening our brand new charity shop with Trevor Weeks on Saturday morning. The ribbon has now been cut and the shop is officially open. Thank to everyone that came along and shared cake and nibbles with us and picked up a bargain. Thank you to everyone who baked some fantastic cakes and brought in drinks and bits, the cheese straws were amazing!

It has been a long process to get the shop to where it is and there needs to be a few thank yous, firstly to Chris Riddington for co-ordinating the set up with the help of John Masters sharing his advice and knowledge. We need to thank Tim, Raynor WRAS's builder who has put most of the shop together. WRAS volunteers Laura Carrick, John Debop and Trustee Brian Russell for all of their time and skills putting together equipment, tidying, sorting and more. Thank you to SignTek and Tectonic for all of there help in getting the shop looking bright and welcoming.

Well done to Shop Managers Lois Attwater and John Racher and all of the volunteers at the shop for making this project a reality and continue to push it forward and make it a success.

We hope that this shop is going to help us to continue to do the life saving work we do for the wildlife of East Sussex. Each item that sells will help to help us continue our work long into the future, so please do pop in say hello the team, buys some bits and even watch some of our WRAS rescues in our educational area.

My cubs may be out there waiting for me to come home, sadly I am too poorly to look after them now. Can everyone in the Heathfield Road area of Seaford listen very carefully over the next few nights and look under sheds, summer houses, decking etc because they need your help. If you find or hear them call WRAS straight away. Do not touch or disturb them just call WRAS. Please share this post. ...

Arnie was released today, he was a record breaker for us, when he arrived he was over 535g, with roundworm and ligature injuries to both legs/feet. When he left he weighed 600g - twice the size of a normal feral pigeon and 150g heavier than a wood pigeon. People of Westham keep an eye out for our Bomber Arnie :-) You will know him if you see him! ...

Many thanks to the 3 lovely young people who waited with poor Grainger tonight and kept him safe from the road. He was found at outside a shop in Uckfield High Street/Grange Road. He is nice and fat, but a youngster who should have just fledged, and was wet, and unable to use his legs, although his wings work fine. It is not clear what is going on yet, but he is safe and warm and has had pain relief/anti inflammatories and we will look to xray him. ...
